The `Carnatic', setting sail from Hong Kong at half-past six on the 7th November, directed her course at full steam towards Japan. She carried a large cargo¹ and a well-filled cabin of passengers. Two state-rooms in the rear were, however, unoccupied, - those which had been engaged by Phileas Fogg.

The next day a passenger with a half-stupefied eye, staggering gait, and disordered hair, was seen to emerge from the second cabin, and to totter² to a seat on deck.

It was Passepartout; and what had happened to him was as follows: - Shortly after Fix left the opium³ den⁴, two waiters had lifted the unconscious Passepartout, and had carried him to the bed reserved for the smokers⁵. Three hours later, pursued even in his dreams by a fixed⁶ idea, the poor fellow awoke, and struggled against the stupefying influence of the narcotic⁷. The thought of a duty unfulfilled shook off his torpor⁸, and he hurried from the abode⁹ of drunkenness. Staggering and holding himself up by keeping against the walls, falling down and creeping up again, and irresistibly¹⁰ impelled¹¹ by a kind of instinct, he kept crying out, `The "Carnatic"! the "Carnatic"!'

The steamer lay puffing¹² alongside the quay
